1323 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, four-unit building at 1323 Myrtle Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Rochelle Senior, has a significant history of pest-related issues and safety violations since 2018. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of rodent problems, with the most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 showing passed results, but with multiple instances of rat activity recorded in 2024 and 2022.

The building has consistently maintained zero bedbug infestations according to all bedbug reports filed from 2021 through 2025, though there were three Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 and 2022 related to failing to file annual bedbug reports. The building's safety record reveals several concerning issues, particularly in 2018, including violations for inadequate safety measures in multiple apartments (3R and 3L), such as defective smoke detectors and missing carbon monoxide detectors. Other safety-related violations from 2018 involved improper door functionality in the boiler room and unauthorized fastening mechanisms at the scuttle cover.

While most of these violations were resolved promptly, they indicate periods of inadequate safety compliance. The property showed some administrative issues in 2018 related to posting proper safety notices in the public hall. Since 2022, there have been no further reports of smoke or carbon monoxide detector issues, and the building has maintained proper bedbug reporting compliance, though the rodent inspection history suggests periodic challenges with maintaining a pest-free environment.
